Mother’s Day Flowers – Walk With Ken Boyle LXIX
It is Sunday afternoon, and it is rather cool and rainy outside. There is such a chill in the air that I have a small fire in my study stove. I have on a fairly heavy sweater and surely know we are not going outside for our walk. So sit in that chair over there … Continue reading Mother’s Day Flowers – Walk With Ken Boyle LXIX

Love – Walk With Ken Boyle LXII
Comment from Ken: Love lifts up as our Savior would lift up a lost sheep. He lifts us with His love. Scripture: 11Then He said to them, “What man is there among you who has one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out? 12Of how much more value then is a man than a sheep? Therefore it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” 13Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. 14Then the Pharisees went out and plotted against Him, how they might destroy Him. It is beautiful here in Hopkinton at this moment. The sun is brightly shining, the snow is white, pure, and not too deep, there is … Continue reading Love – Walk With Ken Boyle LXII

A Special Tree – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVII
Comment from Ken – Each week I look for any comments made by you who walk with me. Know they are always welcome. Do you have a special tree in your life? Tell me about it. In Christian love, Ken. Scripture: Matthew 10: 27 - 31 27“Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. I’ve … Continue reading A Special Tree – Walk With Ken Boyle XLVII

Take a Walk in the Country – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXVI
Comment From Ken: This is a long scripture reading but it clearly shows Jesus’ faith, love, and understanding of nature and farming. Scripture Matthew 13: 1-9; 18-231On the same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. 2And great multitudes were gathered together to Him, so that He got into a boat and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. 3Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. 4And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. 5Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. 6But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. 7And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. 9He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” 18“Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” It’s a very warm day for a … Continue reading Take a Walk in the Country – Walk With Ken Boyle XXXVI
